Y/n P.O.V

" Y/n!! Wake up!!!! It's almost time to go!!" I hear Draco yell, knocking on the door as well. I look up to see p/n looking at me though the cage, knowing that some thing was going on. Sitting up I run my eyes, thinking about what i should where to platform 9 and 3/4. Getting up i feed p/n and make sure they're ready for the day, get a s/f/c t-shirt, denim jeans, f/c pumps and get a gray hoodie in case it gets cold. Walking down stairs with my suitcase, I see Draco and Father waiting for me. We take hold of his arms and the squeezing sensation starts, giving me a small headache. The sensation stops and we're close to the platform, away from muggle eyes. We walk over to the pole between platforms 9 and 10. Draco runs at it one second, disappearing the next. I take a deep breath in and run at the wall, eyes shut. When I open them again I'm on a busy platform, red steam engine train on the railway. I look up and see ' Platform 9 & 3/4 '. I walk around to find an entrance, seeing Harry and his friends close by. I decide not to talk to them in case Draco sees me. 

Walking on the train I try to find a empty compartment to sit in, since I dont have any friends. I keep searching for somewhere to sit, finding my brother with Pansy, Crabb and Goyle. I knock on the sliding door and open it.

" Hey Draco? Can I sit with you?" I ask, hoping he would say yes. All his friends look at me, then him, then back at me. He just glares at he, making me feel uncomfortable. " You know what... I'll go find somewhere else." I say quickly, closing the door behind me and continuing my search. I keep looking until I find Hermione sitting by herself in a compartment, reading a spell book. I knock on the sliding door and open it. " Can I sit with you? Everywhere else is full." I say, expecting her to not let me.

" Sure you can Y/n, have a seat." She said, guesturing to the seat opposite her. I tuck my suitcase up and sit down, silence covers the compartment. After a minute my curiosity got the better of me.

" How did you meet Harry?" I ask, trying to break the tension a bit. She looks at me and her face contorts in concentration.

" Well I first met him a year ago, on this train. Harry was sitting with Ron and He was about to do a ' spell ' on his pet rat Scabbers.  He failed, so I showed him a spell that I learnt from the books. Then later at Halloween, I was in the girls bathroom when a troll came in and attacked me. Harry and Ron came to my rescue thank God and we just became friends." She explains, making me nod my head.

" And you met my brother because of your friendship with Harry and Ron?" I ask, curious about that.

" Yeah, comparing you to him, your really good for a Malfoy, you know that?" She says. I look down and think about it, my family is very centered around Salazar Slytherins believe of pure bloods should only come to Hogwarts. I think anyone who had the ability should be allowed to, since it's a dream every muggle has. I nod my head, and look back at her.

" Do you think we can be friends?" I say, curious about her answer.

" If your not like what Draco acts like, then yeah. But i don't think we should do it around him, you know?" She said.

" I agree, he wouldn't exactly want me hanging put with muggle borns. He'd go hell Mother and Father about it." I say, she nods in agreement.

" HARRY!!!! GRAB ONTO MY HAND!!!!" Ron yells over the car and trains loud engine, trying to reach for Harry who is dangling out the car door.

" I can't... It's sticky!" He yells back, trying to grab his hand.

\\\ back on the train /// Y/n P.O.V

" Where is Harry and Ron anyway?" I ask, confused about the boys whereabouts.

" Your guess is as good as mine. I didnt see them get on the train." Hermione said, look ing out the window at the passing greenery. Many trees, and orchards with different coloured flowers in them. I sigh at the sight of something other than dark green and black. I excuse myself and go get changed into my robes, making sure I look presentable before we get off the train. Walking back I see Draco standing in Hermione's compartment doorway. I sigh and go up to him.

"--- And Pottah anyway? Shouldn't they be on here as well, or did they already get kick out." I hear him say, Crabb and Goyle laughing along with it.

" Hello Draco." I say in my best monotone voice, like most Malfous are ment to speak when in public.

" Oh, hello Y/n. Did you find somewhere to sit?" He almost sounded like he cared. I nodded. " Good, now why don't you run along. I have to deal with a certain Granger and her missing friends." He says, shooing me away from the compartment. Instead I stand there, wanting to see what actually happens when he talks to them. Then a ' toot toot ' could be heard from outside.

" Your lucky Granger. I'll see you at school Y/n." He said walking off, Crabb and Goyle walking off with him. Waiting for them to disappear around the corner, I slip into Hermione's compartment.

" Is that how he treats you everyday?" I ask, thinking about Draco before Father started neglecting both him and me.

" Unfortuantly, yes. But there is nothing I can do about my blood and who I was born from." She says sighing at the thought. She goes and gets her robes on. We part ways once the train stops. Hopping out of the busy compartments, I hear a voice  saying " Firs' years over here with Me! Firs' years this way!".
